Google Joins the $800 Club; Number Four, for the Record

Shares of Google Inc. crossed the $800 mark this morning, a milestone that very few companies have ever achieved, and no tech firm. The move caps what has been a big change for the company: Yes, it’s still dominant in search, its core market if you will, but it’s not just a search-engine company anymore (and indeed, hasn’t been for a while).

Only three other companies are in the club: Berkshire Hathaway’s Class A shares ($151,185), Seaboard Corp. ($2,840), and NVR Inc ($1.025).
